Review

A timely and important book that thoroughly covers the importance of smart online communications so that ones digital footprint is protected.

The text is clearly written and is supplemented by numerous photographs and sidebars that make the information accessible and interesting. Real life examples and suggestions will help young readers understand how important it is to be a smart user of technology. Topics such as hacking, cyberbullying, phishing, spyware, viruses, spam, cookies and apps are covered within the four short chapters.

A Glossary, Learn More about Online Communication page, and Index are included in the backpages. This book would be a smart addition to both public and school libraries for younger middle readers to access information to become good digital citizens.

Overall Book Score: very good
